MuscleNerd shot out a few Tweets this morning letting folks know the status on various aspects of jailbreakland. I'll rehash the points:

There is an unlock on the horizon for both new jailbreakers and old, possibly not released until 4.2 though.

A new Pwnage Tool should be out by "Funday/Sunday" with support for the Apple TV 2G (the recent release), although most apps won't work yet.

Developers will have to begin working on creating new apps/tweaks for Apple TV, and updating their current apps to support Apple TV if it makes sense per package. The Apple TV jailbreak situation is a new frontier here - it's not a touch screen device, so the entire JB experience may have to be starting fresh at least from a UI standpoint. Exciting.

Is there anything worth a crap to go from 4.0 to 4.1? I for one don't think so. Besides the fact that 4.0.1 actually made me get no service in areas where I previously got service on 4.0. So 4.1 will have the same service issuse i had in 4.0.1 Thank god for shsh backups!!

@trigun989 the idea of the jailbreak if for apps and modifying your product, unlocking is just an extra. Without a jailbreak they wouldn't be able to develop a unlock. However in the UK you can pay £15 to get it unlocked by an official carrier.

I have no idea. It's just a guess. But we're almost half way through October so 2011 is only 2 1/2 months away. Also, once 4.2 is out you gotta think it will be at least a week or two before jailbreak and unlock released. Although since they are sitting on SHatter hole I bet it won't be much longer than that

Son of a b****, this still does not unlock the iPad 4.2 betas. F*** it.

iPads already come unlocked. If you meant jailbreak then you're out of luck. Jailbreaks are NEVER officially released to work on BETA firmwares b/c it gives Apple the chance to patch the jailbreak before the final release.
